The Slim Tri-Fold Wallet is the perfect size for those who do not want to carry a large amount in their wallet. This tri-fold wallet features simple piping around the edges and a dual snap closure for more room when it is required. The zippered coin pocket on the back has a detailed overlay and an accordion gusset for easy access which will hold plenty of coins. There is room for 10 credit cards and 2 ID cards, as well as 2 billfold sections. This wallet can fit into a smaller purse when just a simple selection of cards and bills are required.
